Getting Intimate with Oliver Pigott
Written by Pamela Detlor
A few nights ago Oliver Pigott played to an intimate crowd at the historic Toronto venue, The Cameron House.
It amazes me how one man with one guitar can give off so much energy.
All in attendance enjoyed his hour-and-a-half set. As always “Ollie”
interacted with the audience and joked through a few equipment
malfunctions. His sister Charlotte stole a laugh when she yelled, “Get
rid of that guitar!” This, a few songs into the show, after Ollie’s
borrowed electric guitar wouldn’t stay in tune. Taking it all in stride
Ollie laughed and grabbed his trusted “Dot On Shaft” acoustic.
Most of the songs we enjoyed were originals, including “Our Generation”
which was nominated for a Hollywood Music award. Ollie also delivered a
few cover songs, the most moving being an acapella version of Eric
Clapton’s, “Tears In Heaven.”
